What are the common symptoms of Dengue Fever and Dengue
Haemorrhagic Fever?
Dengue fever is characterized by the sudden onset of fever, (which
can last up to 7 days) and is accompanied by intense headache, body
aches, joint pains, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and the
development of skin rashes. A blood test will often show low
platelets.
Dengue haemorrhagic fever presents similarly to Dengue fever but is
associated with more severe bleeding problems (e.g. gum bleeding,
nose bleeding and bleeding into the skin and internal organs) along
with evidence of plasma leakage.
